Sick Beauty [Rebirth]

Chapter 61: Teaching.

Ye Yunlan slowly sat up from the chair. The blanket slid down to his knees, and his long hair scattered down his back.

The lingzhi chicken soup on the table was fresh and delicious, while the apricot blossom cake was sweet and soft; both would undoubtedly cause excitement to a foodie.

Ye Yunlan did not move.

He looked at the plate of apricot blossom cakes, focusing for a moment on the pastry dough's apricot blossom pattern.

He was silent for a moment, and his eyelashes drooped. Then, he raised his hand and pushed the porcelain plate away.

Shen Shu saw this, and his expression darkened.

"...I know that Master is still angry with Disciple," he said, "But no matter how angry you are, you shouldn't hurt your body. The ancient Xinzhi is good for Master's injury. After this time, it will be rare to come by this again. Also, after the elixir has been boiled, its medicinal properties would have dissolved in and will disperse over time. Master should drink it while it's hot."

After saying that, he picked up the porcelain bowl on the table and held it out to Ye Yunlan.

"Before, Master once said that if Disciple wins the competition, he will promise Disciple a request."

He paused, then said: "Master, please cherish your body."

Ye Yunlan heard these words and his eyelashes trembled slightly. The brows that seemed to be frozen finally melted a little.

He took the porcelain bowl in Shen Shu's hand. His white and slender hand picked up the soup spoon, and then finally said his first words after Shen Shu arrived.

"You've been kind."

Shen Shu knew his anger had diminished a bit, so he said: "Master being in good health is Disciple's greatest wish."

He didn't want to be too far away from Ye Yunlan, so he simply sat at the table and watched Ye Yunlan drink the soup, spoon by spoon.

The soup was hot, and Ye Yunlan moved very slowly. This person, usually untouched or unfazed by the things of the mundane world, would show a little bit of vitality only when he was eating.

He watched the person in front of him's pale lips stain with water, gradually becoming rosy. Suddenly, he remembered that he had stolen Ye Yunlan's lips and plundered the sweet taste of rain a few days ago.

His lips were soft like petals, and a light layer of snow seemed to cover them. It was as if they would melt away as soon as one touched them. The juice inside was so sweet that he couldn't help but want more and more.

Shen Shu's Adam's apple moved slightly.

After drinking the bowl of soup, Ye Yunlan put down the soup spoon and put the porcelain bowl on the table. The elixir's power melted into his limbs, and the pain in his chest disappeared significantly. His face's paleness faded a little, and he became a little more tired. He leaned on the back of his chair, closing his eyes slightly.

Shen Shu looked at the empty bowl, then at the untouched apricot blossom cake next to him. He pursed his lips.

He glanced at Ye Yunlan, who had his eyes shut, then reached out and took a piece of a cake and slowly bit into it.

It was delicious.

He thought.

It was much better than the apricot blossom cake bought from down the mountain.

In order to make this cake, he even went to the hawker selling the pastries to inquire about the recipe.

Although it was the first time he made it, it went unexpectedly smooth. The taste and appearance of the finished product were also good.
